Vacation
action at Reggie Lewis started with Pat
Grimes throwing down a 4:23 mile at the
Boston Holiday Classic - good enough for second place. Today
it ended with Hock athletes breaking two meet records at
the freshman/sophomore large school meet. Stoughton's Greg
Bourisquot sped to a first place
8.00 in the 55MH taking .09 off the old record. Then Mansfield's
Emily "Broyled"
the competition with a sparkling 41.88 in the 300M dash,
a winning margin of 1.5 seconds.

Celtic's locker room.
Since
meeting Kevin Garnett on the Letterman Show Usain has been
looking forward to catching a Celtics game. Matt and Emily
took him to Friday night's game. It was tough to guess who
was more excited - Usain or the Celts. Rumor has it that
when the game was close in the third quarter Doc Rivers
turned to Usain and said, "I hope you're going to bring
us good luck tonight." Usain and Matt also got to visit
with the team in the locker room after the game - then take
a few shots on the hardcourt. And yes, I've seen the video
of Usain throwing down a monster windmill dunk. Actually,
it bounced off the rim but was still very impressive.
I'm
back on the fitness kick. Of course I'm never far off it.

People
are easy to buy for if you know what makes them tick.
In this case, Matt and Emily got me a perfect gift, a
picture of the Boston Marathon from the 1930's. What made
it special was that he sent the mat to Amby Burfoot (winner
'68') to sign for me.
My
Gift List
I'm
starting to get into the holiday spirit. Those Christmas
songs that I found so annoying during mid-November are
suddenly bringing a smile to my face. I've made a few
wreaths, given away some homegrown Christmas trees and
started ticking off items
on my to do by Dec. 24 th list.
